Mention snakes and the image that comes to mind is that of a stealthily gliding reptile. It turns out that this was not always the case. Ancient snake fossils indicate that the reptiles once had legs, just like the rest of us. So why did snakes decide to shed them in favor of the slither that sends chills down our spines? That is a mystery researchers have been trying to solve for some time.

              I know the real reason snakes lost their legs! It was because after God made the earth, he made Adam and Eve, and when Eve and Adam sinned by taking some fruit God didn't want them to have, the snake lost his legs because he had caused them to sin because he told them to take it. Cool huh? #ibeliveit
